FAQs
What type of socks are best with these shoes?
Given the suede lining and sock, wearing thin, breathable socks made of cotton or bamboo is recommended. No-show socks can also maintain a clean aesthetic.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the TR outsole offers some protection, the nubuck upper is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to use a waterproofing spray specifically for nubuck to provide a degree of protection.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees, preferably cedar, can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
What is the heel height of the Charmouth Lace?
The heel height is approximately 1.5 cm.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit will depend on individual foot shape. The leather laces allow for some adjustment, but the overall design is a slim fit typical of boat shoes. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
How do I clean the suede lining?
The suede lining can be gently brushed with a dry suede brush. For minor marks, you can use a suede eraser. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners on the suede interior.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's removable, or consult a cobbler for professional advice.
Discoloration on nubuck
For light marks, try brushing with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated nubuck cleaner and follow the instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Protect with a waterproofing spray.
Laces feel stiff
Leather laces can stiffen over time. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for laces or apparel to restore flexibility.
